At today’s White House briefing, CNN’s Jim Acosta left the room in a “totally saddened” mood after asked Sarah Sanders if she agrees that the media is the “enemy of the people” and ended up getting dressed down instead. All that caused Brian Stelter to come to the defense of his CNN colleague this way:

Perhaps the press needs to affirm whether or not the *people* are the enemy of the press. You know, the people who are tired of being maligned as racists because they didn’t vote for Hillary or called murderers on networks because they support self-defense. https://t.co/64pqzS5WHj
